About Me
Your financial health is my passion
Taking an individualised, root cause approach to financial health.
I help my clients build healthy habits, feel better, and find what works for them.
I’m Larissa, a passionate financial health coach and certified financial specialist with over 30 years of experience helping people transform their lives through better finance and lifestyle choices.
My journey into financial health coaching began with a personal quest for financial well-being, which ignited a deep desire to help others find their path to financial health.
Supporting you in achieving and maintaining a healthy, balanced life.
I believe that one size does NOT fit all. I take a holistic approach to financial management, using evidence-based, integrative, and functional practices. This means helping you feel your best by addressing the root cause of your concerns and supporting you in building long-term, maintainable financial and lifestyle habits.
